Mom's Review
Origin is a gorgeously illustrated over-size picture book. Each two-page spread introduces a character from a different Indigenous people; readers are briefly introduced to the child's culture and relationship with nature. The portrait of each child incorporates images from their environment; I love how one girl's hair is a blend of mountains and curls with a waterfall cascading down her part. Narration by the different children offers readers a more intimate glimpse of what are likely unfamiliar ways of living, facilitating connection and respect. Origin is a laudable addition to any collection.
